I have found that the best way to start trees and shrubs by transplanting shoots is to plant them into large pots in the spring, keep them in a semi-shady area and well watered for the summer, and then put them in the ground in the fall once they have developed a good root system.

I tried planting rooted elderberry cuttings but none of them survived the winter until I tried this method!
